The hillsides on both sides seem to be flat, but there are traps. The soldiers of Yuan Jun who followed Wen Chou to climb up the hillside and wanted to cross the mountain to escape either fell into a pit or were pricked by the densely packed thorns on the hillside and lost their ability to move. They were either confused by the sudden burst of dust, or were smashed by the branches that suddenly fell down beside them. High-quality updates]

Of course, the most threatened Yuan army soldiers who were trying to cross the mountains were the dense arrows of the eight thousand crossbowmen of the Central Army hiding in the fortifications. These eight thousand crossbowmen followed Hao Zhao to defend Ji Pass against Dong Zhuo Xiliang Cavalry who had raided Ji Pass. After three years of rigorous training and frequent practical exercises, these eight thousand crossbowmen could make the arrows worthless. Each shot of arrows can always hit the body of a Yuan army soldier.

However, if arrows are not shot into the vital points, they will not kill people, they will only cause loss of movement and be forced to surrender. This is why 20,000 cavalrymen in Lu Bulei did not charge at the valley entrance and only used bows and arrows to snipe.

A few days ago, Lu Bu started a massacre in front of Dagu Pass. Fang Tian's painting halberd took the lives of seven or eight hundred people. Lu Bu regretted it afterwards. If these people shot their hands and feet with bows and arrows, the arrow injuries would be easily cured. After a short while, they would be free labor. These seven or eight hundred people could create at least 20 million yuan in a year. However, Lu Bu thought about it again that before Dagu Pass, he would use such massacre to defeat the morale of Yuan Shao's army, forcing them to retreat and retreat to the ambush circle of Dagu.

This time, Lu Bu ambushed Wen Chou's 30,000 soldiers, so there was no need to kill like this. Eight thousand crossbowmen shot on both sides of the valley, and 20,000 cavalrymen blocked the entrance to the valley. At the same time, the arrival of Lu Bu's 28,000 soldiers also brought a clear signal to the Wen Chou tribe that their lord Yuan Shao was indeed defeated. Otherwise, Lu Bu would not have brought so many people to ambush Wen Chou.

Wen Chou's 30,000 troops had been marching for three days and three nights under the irritability of Wen Chou. He was extremely tired and now he was ambushed by Lu Bu again. He realized that Yuan Shao's 100,000 army had been defeated, and his body and mind were exhausted and almost desperate. The 30,000 soldiers of Yuan's army had no intention of fighting against Lu Bu again. He could not break through the exit surrounded by 20,000 elite cavalrymen. He was trapped while climbing the hillside. The Yuan army soldiers who were unfounded lost their last trace of courage to fight in the slogan "Don't kill, and surrender, and will be rewarded for surrender" all over the mountains and fields, and they dropped their weapons. They knelt on both sides of the road, waiting for reorganization.

Only a few senior generals such as Wen Chou crossed mountains and ridges and escaped from the siege under the desperate protection of the personal guards. The total number of these personnel was less than 1,000. Wen Chou's 30,000 troops were considered to be wiped out.

Wen Chou climbed over the hillside and went through twists and turns. He turned back to Yingchuan County, but found that all the cities and towns in Yingchuan County were occupied by the guerrilla corps of Huang Gai, the commander of Yingchuan County, appointed by Lu Bu. Wen Chou had to return to Xiangyang City with regret.

After Huang Gai occupied these cities, he quickly mobilized the poor people below to form grassroots county soldiers to curb the family soldiers of local aristocratic families.

At the same time, the large and small cities of Runan County were also occupied by the guerrilla corps of Wei Yan, the guerrilla corps appointed by Lu Bu. After Wei Yan occupied these cities, he quickly mobilized the local poor people to form grassroots county and township soldiers to assist the guerrilla corps in defending the city.

Because Wei Yan's guerrilla regiment was reorganized from the Yellow Turbans in Runan and was relatively powerful, Wei Yan followed Lu Bu's military order and ordered his deputy general Liao Hua to lead troops to take advantage of the empty forces of Yuan's army in Chen County and occupy the large and small cities of Chen County. Liao Hua was appointed as the county magistrate of Chen County by Lu Bu. In Chen County, Liao Hua followed the system of the Central Army and mobilized grassroots masses to form county and township soldiers belonging to grassroots masses. All retired soldiers of the Central Army were officers and instructors of county and township soldiers. All county and township soldiers were in the hands of the Central Army, and those families who were ready to move did not dare to move.

Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shao with great force. Wen Chou took advantage of the empty troops of Runan, Yingchuan and Chen County, and quickly captured these three counties, and appointed Wei Yan as the general of Yuzhou and Huang Gai as the deputy general of Yuzhou to form a qualified Yuzhou Corps. While defending the three counties, he actively dealt with Liu Biao, the governor of Yuzhou, and continued to explore other counties and counties.

Lu Bu's series of big moves this time suddenly made Liu Biao, the governor of Yuzhou, and now only the Liang and Pei states remain in the hands of the Liu Han royal family, Wang Liang and Pei states. Liu Biao could mobilize less than 20,000 troops, and could only survive under the coercion of the increasingly powerful Central Army Yuzhou Corps.

Because Wei Yan, Huang Gai and Liao Huaxin got Runan County, Yingchuan County and Chen County, and these three counties are home to many families, and Runan County is Yuan Shao's hometown. If the Yuzhou Corps wants to gain a foothold, it will take at least half a year to rectify the place.

After Lu Bu defeated Wen Chou, he left the generals Cao Xing and Hao Zhao to lead 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 crossbowmen to surrender and reorganize the Yuan army.

Wen Chou gathered 30,000 people in Yingchuan County, Runan County, and Chen County. In the end, less than 1,000 people were taken away. More than 3,000 people were killed on the spot. More than 2,000 others were injured by arrows, swords and guns, and more than 2,000 people were seriously disabled. Others were more or less traumatized. However, after careful care by the Central Military Medical Battalion, most of them were recovered. Those seriously disabled were incorporated into the Yuzhou Construction Corps to do the simplest work of raising chickens, ducks and geese. The remaining more than 2,000 people were selected to supplement the Central Army's war losses. The remaining were organized into the county and county soldiers of the Yuzhou Corps under the Central Army. Those who had connections with the aristocratic families were cleared out and were pressed to the labor reform brigade of the Yuzhou Construction Corps to receive labor education.

Wei Yan's Yuzhou Corps was replenished with 20,000 surrendered troops, and his strength grew a lot, and he was no longer afraid of the counterattack of local aristocratic families.

The 20,000 cavalry brought by Lu Bu was only injured in the battle just now. Lu Bu left them all to Cao Xing to reorganize the surrendered soldiers. After Lu Bu led 18,000 cavalry to rest for a while, he galloped towards Guangcheng Pass.

Lu Bu's eighteen thousand cavalry circled a circle from the east of Guangchengze and arrived in front of Guangcheng Pass. At this time, Guangcheng Pass had been re-occupied by Zhang Ren, the generals under Lu Bu's command. Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhang He, who participated in the ambush of Yuan Shao, were also waiting for Lu Bu's arrival at Guangcheng Pass, and Zhao Yun also urged the rear army to come to Guangcheng Pass.

The most surprising thing is that Yan Xing is standing beside Zhang Ren.

Lu Bu was not surprised at all, because all this was as expected, because all this was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan he had agreed with Ju Su, Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

But a few days ago, Lu Bu saw Dian Wei capture Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and had an idea. He used Yuan Shao as bait to lure Wen Chou to take the bait and eliminated Yuan Shao's army in Yuzhou. When Lu Bu led 20,000 cavalry out of Dagu Pass, Yuan Shao was stepping into the ambush circle that Lu Bu had already built for him.

Yuan Shao fled for four or five miles in a hurry and found that the road ahead was getting more rugged, and the mountains on both sides of the valley became steeper and steeper and steeper. The mountains and forests on both sides covered the sky and the sun. The broad daylight in September gave people a gloomy feeling. Yuan Shao let out a sigh because the Central Cavalry, who had been chasing them, had given up tracking because the mountain road was rugged and inconvenient for horses to walk. The Central Infantry following them did not have much threat to the Jingzhou Army, because the Central Cavalry was led by Lu Bu himself, and the Central Infantry was led by Zhu Jun, the governor of Sizhou. Although Zhu Jun was a famous general, he was a pity that he had grown old and had lost his aura and had never chased him.

Yuan Shao was very concerned about Yan Liang's eight thousand cavalry. After all, Jingzhou lacked good horses, and these eight thousand cavalry were the family that Yuan Shao had finally accumulated.

While forcing his fat body to move forward, Xu You stroked the mouse beard and pondered: "Now I think about it, Zhao Yun's four thousand cavalrymen did not enter Dagu Pass and kept walking west, just to lead Yan Liang away so that Lu Bu's 30,000 cavalrymen were used to deal with our 70,000 infantry without cavalry guards. Lord, I'm afraid Lu Bu has no conspiracy to deal with Yan Liang. I believe Yan Liang's 8,000 cavalrymen have no way to come back!"

Xu You thought it was a good idea. Just an hour ago, Yan Liang's thousands of cavalry suffered a devastating blow from the Central Army.

Yan Liang led his troops to a place three miles away from Daguguan. This was the narrowest part of the road. There were hillsides on both sides, and there was only a narrow road in the middle. However, the grass and trees on the hillside were sparse, so there was no ambush. Yan Liang commanded his cavalry to pass with confidence.

Yan Liang led the army for a few steps and suddenly found that more than a dozen large cars suddenly appeared on the narrow mountain road ahead. A large flag appeared on the big cart, which was the flag of Yuan Jun. The soldiers in the big cart shouted loudly: "General Yan, the lord sends us to pick you up!"

Yan Liang's thousands of cavalry were trapped and hungry, and they were ecstatic when they saw these large carriages that were suspected to be supplies. They rushed towards the direction of the large carriages.

Yan Liang took the lead. When the cart got closer and closer, Yan Liang suddenly discovered that these ten carts were four-wheeled carts, which were very different from the popular two-wheeled carts in Jingzhou. Moreover, the wood used in these carts was very thick and solid wood. The design appearance of the carts was also very different from ordinary baggage carts. It looked extremely wide. The carts were separated by thick wooden boards, and there were some small holes in the boards.

When Yan Liang saw these strange carriages, he suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly rode his horse back.

At this time, the ten carriages quickly crossed and unloaded the war horses of the chariots. The ten carriages formed two rows and quickly formed a solid formation of chariots, blocking the road tightly. The crossbow soldiers hidden in the carriages took off their crossbows and shot them at the Jingzhou cavalry who had no time to react.

Dozens of carriages rushed towards the back of the dozens of carriages. Three hundred crossbow soldiers and ten engineers and one hundred auxiliary soldiers jumped from the dozen carriages. With the support of those engineers and auxiliary soldiers, high ladders were quickly set up on both sides of the chariot formation. Later, crossbow soldiers followed the ladder and climbed up the hillsides on both sides. In this way, six hundred crossbow soldiers formed a three-dimensional crossbow formation, which intensively attacked Yan Liang and the thousands of cavalry.

Yan Liang hurriedly hid in the stirrup and avoided the dense rain of arrows shot by the crossbow soldiers from the chariot formation, but his war horse was shot into a hedgehog.

Under the cover of the guards, Yan Liang quickly transferred to another war horse.
